A high-ranking European Union official has confirmed reports that China has been training Russian troops who have subsequently been deployed to fight in Ukraine. The confirmation, made on condition of anonymity, supports earlier media reports citing European intelligence agencies. Details regarding the extent and nature of the training remain undisclosed. This revelation raises concerns about China’s role in the ongoing conflict and potential support for Russia’s military efforts. The EU official stated their services had verified the training program. This development could further strain relations between the EU and China, and potentially lead to increased scrutiny of Chinese activities related to the war. Further investigation is expected to determine the full scope of the training and its impact on the battlefield.
